Our ExpertsThe mind and health—August 2008by Deborah Richter | Email me if you questions or comments | Back to List of Articles Getting Started With The Mind and health: if the mind could create anything ...Take a moment and pose a simple question to yourself. “If I could create anything, what would I want? Would it be health, a better job, a newer car or even lower gas prices to fuel my existing one? Now you might be thinking, “That would be great if________”(fill in the blank). It is in the blanks that we doubt and often think about what is unavailable instead of what we have. We are blessed with many luxuries some of them are easier to come by at certain moments more than others. An example is that at the precise moment that we want a new car a beautiful red convertible with bright shiny new rims drives by us and we think, “That’s the one!”. A week later we may receive a loan acceptance letter that has an ideal interest rate and someone shows us an advertisement for the auto dealership that makes that car with a sale sticker that screams “buy me while I’m on sale”. We regard these moments as good omens. The omen is less a mystery that is often realized. Individuals are awakening everywhere to something called the “Law of Attraction”(LOA). If this is not in your repertoire yet you’ll find the meaning in the dictionary under “likeness”. Webster describes likeness as “Resemblance”, a “copy” even “to see or describe as being like”. There is much more to this than we realize. Everything can have qualities like everything or everyone else if we look for them. More importantly who you are and are becoming is attracting others who feel the same way. How often have you met someone on a plane or in a line while waiting and found in minutes something in common to talk about. We usually look for commonality when we need it to feel comfortable. It is human nature. It is what we are looking and putting out that we find, whether positive or negative. Many are exercising LOA without conscious knowledge by thinking about what they don’t want instead of “willing” what they do. So, they actually get more of what they don’t want. You may focus too much on your belief that you cannot afford that red convertible and you’ll either feel the effects of a tighter pocketbook that keep you from investigating that auto loan or you’ll settle on the used auto park for your shopping experience, and find one that suits your desires and your pocketbook. There is a great phrase in a book by one of the Sales Geniuses of our time Tom Hopkins that states, “What you really want, you’ll find a way to acquire.” One can also say that what you think you don’t want, when you think about it enough, you’ll also find a way to acquire. This simply means that whatever you choose to focus your thoughts and energy on is what you are going to bring on….onto our lives, ourselves and, as you can imagine, others. As an “Intuitive”(a fancy name for a person who picks up information through paranormal and normal sensory experiences) I have determined that we are interconnected in remarkable ways that can bring us closer or emphasize our distinctions. A healthy look at our uniqueness is a beautiful thing. It can afford us the ability to see what we want in ourselves and even what we don’t, without being judgmental and cruel and it can leave us feeling separate and lonely because we think no one will love us or appreciate our uniqueness. It is always our choice to decide what angle we want to take and we can start by bringing our thoughts into alignment with positive feelings and good intentions. When we insist within ourselves that a healthy lifestyle and loving attitude is the way to inner peace and we decide that that will be what we are known for, something inside of us and all around us in our personal Auric Energy Field reaches out into the world and pulls to us the very circumstances that bring us one step closer to a healthy life with more love. We can always choose to deny these things we are attracting with our thoughts, but WHY? It is of value to know that every cell in our body, every organ within a system, every person in a family and finally every individual everywhere communicates messages to each other that say that it is OK to want; that it is good to Achieve and that Love and Joy are available. If you want to look at the two feelings that raise the health level of the human body more than any other; it is these two: Love and Joy. Feel them and the Auric Energy Field around you lights up with vibrant and pastel colors that tell the subconscious minds of all that YOU are in love. And there doesn’t have to be a mate in your life in order to feel it. You are by your thoughts alone raising the vibration of energy fields everywhere in people, plants and animals. I could go an about this but, I think you get the idea. You can create whatever you want by knowing what you want and focusing with good intentions, your thoughts upon it. So, let’s stop worrying about when gas prices will lower, when the wars will end and if there will be a president who will turn the economy around in office next term, and let’s start CREATING IT! You can Will them into existence by seeing the outcome you want and lessoning your negativity. In this way advocates for change can produce positive ideas that get others moving in that direction and move our minds from the current state that isn’t pleasing into a better existence for all. I know I’m seeing a brighter future. I hope you WILL too! Deborah Richter
